[B]END OF WEEK 1 UPDATE[/B]

Here is the updated summary table at the end of the first week of play.   You will see how margins have gone down across the board since my last update (post #1) as well as difficulty.   Teams tended to test themselves a "bit" more in their second games.

Reminder - The lower the "Difficulty" number, the harder the schedule is.     The difference between 209 and 251 is about 3 points.

My current ranking from a "NET" perspective, which is primarily margin.

#1.   B10/SEC...  B10 is 21.7 margin.   But a "209" team is about 2 points better than a "231" team, so that makes them close.    Practically one could argue this ranks the SEC too high, and this would seem fair, but again relative margin really matters for the NET.
#3.   B12. 
#4.   ACC
#5.   Big East
#6.   MWC (well back)

I could snip a whole bunch of tables relating to Win% by Quad, Margin by Quad, % Games by Quad, performance against other top conferences (head to head), but those samples are still all very small to have any meaning since 75% of games are "Q4".

[B]Tidbits 
- [/B]Majority of games are still Q4.   Went down from 82% in post 1, to 75% now.   Will be about 50% by OOC end so quality games are coming.    ACC is currently at 79%
- The Big East has yet to play a Q1 or a Q2 game.   Every other conference has had at least 3.such games. 
- Q4 margin rankings (relevant since best base for comparison as of now)
B12 - 28.1
B10 - 26.9
SEC - 24.9
ACC - 22.9
Big East - 16.6
MWC - 11.8

- Quality Wins (Q1 as of now) per conference - Big 12-3, SEC -2, B10 - 1, ACC-1, MWC-1, Big East - 0.

Looks like we will have a barrage of Q4 type games to start the week again.   Looking forward to the better matchups.
